Czech stud farm added to UNESCO World Heritage List
(16 Jul 2019) LEAD IN :
Amongst the new additions to the UNESCO list of World Heritage is a Czech stud farm that dates back to the Habsburg empire.
STORY-LINE:
Horses have been bred here at the Czech National stud farm in the town of Kladruby nad Labem for centuries.
Now that tradition has been recognised by UNESCO, which has added the site to the list of World Heritage.
Founded 440 years ago to breed and train ceremonial horses to serve at the Habsburg (also spelled Hapsburg) imperial court, little has changed here since.
It officially it was founded in 1579 when Emperor Rudolf II of the House of Habsburg gave an imperial status to an original stud established by his father, Emperor Maximilian II.
Among famed regular visitors of the site that includes a small chateau and a church were later Emperor Franz Joseph I with his wife Elisabeth of Bavaria, who was known as Sisi.
The stud survived wars and a devastating 18th century fire till the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918 when the newly established Czechoslovak state took over, which was not known for favoring relics of the former empire.
The horse breeding looked fated to end, but the traditions passed down from generation to generation of breeder, grooms and trainers endured.
The stud also survived 40 years of the communist rule later in the 20th century and emerged in the 21st century to benefit from a restoration funded by the European Union in 2015.
The Kladruby site occupies 1,310 hectares, about the size it had from the beginning in the 16th century.
It's located on flat sandy land near the Elbe river and contains fields and forests together with the buildings, including the stables, indoor and outdoor training grounds and a symmetrical network of roads.
UNESCO describes it as one of Europe's leading horse-breeding institutions, developed at a time when horses played vital roles in transport, agriculture, military support and aristocratic representation.
Kladruby director Jiri Machek says UNESCO's recognition is the confirmation of the global uniqueness of this place.
There are three unique aspects about it, Machek adds It's not only about a tangible heritage, it is also the breeding of unique Kladruber horses, which means the landscape still serves its original purpose. And the third, unique thing which is not mentioned so often is the intangible heritage, the traditional way of doing things, that is we have been trying to operate the stud in a traditional way.
Kladruby is the home of the Kladruber horse, one of the oldest breeds and rarest in the world, with a global population of about 1,200.
The Kladrubers were bred to serve as ceremonial carriage horses at the Habsburg courts in Vienna and Prague.
It's a warm-blooded breed that is based on Spanish and Italian horses. A convex head with a Roman nose is among their significant features.
Since the late 18th century, there are two alternatives, grey and black. The grey horses were used to for the royals at various ceremonies while the black ones served the high-ranked clergy.
Today, they still do the same at the Danish court while others are used by the trumpeters from the Swedish Royal Mounted Guard and some also carry police officers in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
Their peaceful nature makes them a popular horse for riding among private owners around the globe. They also participate in international competitions in carriage driving.

-KLADRUBER-
The Kladruber (Czech Kladrubský kůň) is the oldest Czech horse breed, and today is considered very rare. The main breeding centre is in National stud farm Kladruby nad Labem in the Czech republic where Kladrubers have been bred for more than 400 years, being now one of the world's oldest horse breeds. Kladrubers have always been bred to be a galakarosier - a heavy type of carriage horse for the court of the House of Habsburg.
Bred in Kladruby nad Labem national stud, the Kladruber breed is almost 400 years old, yet is remarkably rare (90 mares as of 1995). Kladruby stud was founded in 1579 by Rudolf II as an Imperial stud, at the Perlstein stables. The breed was based on imported Spanish (such as the Andalusian) and Italian horses, crossed with Neapolitan, Danish, Holstein, Irish, and Oldenburg blood, in addition to the heavy Czech breeds. The animal was first developed to be a galakarosier; a heavy type of carriage horse used to pull the imperial coach, usually in a four- or six-in-hand, at ceremonies and funerals. It originally came in a variety of colors, including palomino and appaloosa, although today the breed is strictly gray or black, due to a breeding program requiring 18 white (i.e. fully mature grays) and 18 black stallions for various ceremonies of the court.
The stud was evacuated during the Seven Years' War to Kopcany, Slovakia and Enyed, Hungary. Due to a fire in 1757, the earliest 200 years of breeding records were lost, and the stud was dissolved before the remaining breeding stock was brought back to the a new stud in Kladruby. The surviving records show a particular influence by several stallions on the herd of gray Kladrubers:
* Pepoli: a gray who sired the colt Generale in Kopcany in 1787. Generale is thought to be the progenitor of all gray Kladrubers today, and he produced the son Generalissimus (1797) who produced a separate lineage.
* Maestoso (1773) and Favory (1779): born in Kladruby, became two of the six founding Lipizzaner stallion lineages. Favory returned to Kladruby after WWII, to add new blood to the decimated herd.
* Barzoi and Legion: Orlov Trotters added new blood between WWI and WWII.
* Rudolfo: A Lusitano from Portugal, added new blood after WWII.
The herd of black Kladrubers had two particular influential stallions, Sacramoso (born 1799) and Napoleone (born 1845), and was regenerated in Slatinany. The black and white Kladrubers have several differences due to their breeding. The white is finer, more Thoroughbredish in type, and usually taller than the black. The black has more Neapolitan blood, and thus is heavier, has a shorter croup, a different head and neck, and a more Nordic look to it.
Pepoli's bloodlines are still bred at the Kladruby Stud, but the herd of black horses sired by Sacromoso and Nepoleone was destroyed in the 1930s, after many of the animals were sold for meat. Despite the decimated herd, a few horses were saved and efforts have been made by breeders to re-establish their bloodlines at a new stud in Slatinany, at The Research Institute for Horse Breeding.
Modern Kladrubers are usually gray. Many stand between 16.2 and 17 hands high 66 to 68 inches (170 to 170 cm) and primarily used in harness. They are suitable for light draft and agriculture, and can be seen at the international levels in the sport of combined driving. This FEI sport makes good use of the Kladruber's calm nature, endurance, and relative speed. The Kladruber is also occasionally crossbred with lighter breeds to produce a more suitable riding horse, usually for dressage.
Due to their small gene pool and long history of selective breeding, Kladruber type is well set and they possess recognizable breed characteristics. Many of these characteristics, such as a prominent Roman or convex facial profile, have been retained from their Baroque ancestors. While the relatively upright shoulder, pasterns and hooves, long back, and short croup are not desirable in a riding horse, these qualities allow high-stepping gaits in a driving horse. The high-set, powerful and well-arched neck of the Kladruber was a trademark feature of their Spanish-Neapolitan ancestors, and not only contributes to their appearance in harness. A horse of substance, the Kladruber possesses a deep, broad chest and sound legs with large joints and hooves. Their legs are unfeathered, though the mane and tail are thick and flowing, and the features are lean rather than fleshy. All gaits, though most especially the trot, should have high action and elasticity with a clear cadence.

ReactorPanel saddle fit with Generalissimus Morgana, The Famous Stunt Horse.
During our first visit to the Czech Republic, Dean and I had the pleasure of fitting saddles to 2 stunt horses. One of them was Generalissimus Morgana, the famous, 18 year old Kladruber stallion who has starred in many Hollywood Blockbusters including Van Helsing and Knight's Tale. Mimi, as he is known to his friend's is also an accomplished dressage horse. When riding in the ReactorPanel saddle for the first time Romana commented that on such a very well trained horse it took a little while to get used to the fact that she could give more refined aids, as Mimi could hear much better. I'm sure you will enjoy watching this video as we thoroughly enjoyed the saddle fit. Such amazing presence this horse has, he is also very kind and gentle. One of my favorites.Thank you Romana.
